- Johne's Disease, (pronounced Yo-nees) is a contagious bacterial disease of the intestinal tract caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. There are only two signs of Johne's Disease: diarrhea and rapid weight loss. In goats, diarrhea is less common. The goat will maintain a normal temperature but may appear unthrifty and weak in advanced stages of infection. The only way to confirm a diagnosis of Johne's Disease is through testing. Study and research is being done to determine the link between Johne's Disease in goats and Crohn's Disease in humans - both are characterized by the presence of M. paratuberculosis.

- Sheep scab is caused by a tiny, pearly-white mite. (Psoroptes ovis) just visible to the naked eye. Mites live on the skin surface causing a skin allergy to their droppings. Initially the lesions are very small (less than the diameter of 1p coin) as the mites multiply the scab spreads, eventually covering the whole sheep. Sheep can also have mixed infestations of sheep scab and chewing lice. 2  Sheep scab can be controlled by using a diazinon based dip or by Dectomax, ivermectin or moxidectin based injections. 3  Remember that injections are also effective wormers and misuse / overuse could lead to drug resistant worms – consult your vet.

Muellerius capillaris); stomach worms (Haemonchus. contortus, commonly called barber pole worm); liver. flukes (Fasciola hepatica); and intestinal parasites, the most common of which are coccidia (Eimeria or.

- Scabs are a common symptom of skin infections, immune system skin disorders, and injury. Scabs result from the healing process, in which new skin grows over damaged skin. They may occur in conditions affecting one area of skin alone, or along with more generalized conditions, such as shingles, chickenpox, or eczema.listers, lacerations, abrasions or burns may also cause scabs as they heal. Impetigo, a bacterial skin infection, can also result in scabs. Depending on the cause, scabs may occur only immediately following an acute injury, or they may be due to recurrent breakouts from a chronic condition, such as psoriasis.
